Hi, one bigger problem is that language semantics at times makes it really hard to properly understand the ledger manual https://www.ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html so I may ask a totally obvious question.
Suppose I buy sthg. but delivery takes time. So I have to make a "pre-payment" ? / is this the same as a deposit? How would I structure that in ledger? Instead of 2018-01-04 * TV set pre-paymant Expenses:Electronics $800 Assets:Banking 2018-02-04 * TV set delivery Expenses:Electronics $250 Assets:Banking My idea would instead be: 2018-01-04 * TV set pre-payment Deposit:Electronics $800 Assets:Banking 2018-02-04 * TV set delivery Deposit:Electronics $250 Assets:Banking -$250 Expenses:Electronics Deposit:Electronics = $0 Does this make sense? Are there better ways to represent pre-payments for expected goods not yet delivered? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
